Question

In the equation y + 8 = 82, what is the next step in the equation solving sequence?

Answer 1

y=74

Explanation:

You have to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation because when solving an equation like this, it is important to try to isolate y.

y + 8 = 82

-8 -8

82 - 8 = 74

y = 74

Answer 2

y + 8 = 82

y = 82 - 8

y = 74

In this equation we need to find the value of y

So you need to change the position of 8 and take it behind the equals to sign. When you do so the positive 8 Changes to negative 8 and the equation become y = 82 - 8 then when you solve it the answer comes 74.
